Life is just moving too fast!

I am only sitting on the sidelines as my family scurries around me, and yet, I am feeling completely overwhelmed with life right now.

My daughter and family have moved from Calgary and are staying in my house right now (add 5 to the supper table - lol). They are waiting to see if their house will be ready March 1 or later. They may stay for a couple of weeks while they paint and update some of the rooms in the new place before they fill up the rooms.

My second daughter just got back from a free week on Mexico. She is relaxed and happy to be home and has lots to catch up on. Her sister moving the week she got back meant she had to jump into life at full speed after her holiday. But this weekend she gets to have girl time since her fiance is off ice fishing. (Watch out Calgary! The city may never be the same.)

My third daughter and my son are renovating - yes their new house is getting a kitchen & bathroom upgrade and changes to the living space as well. The contractor has been there for 2 weeks and should be done by Friday. Their new appliances arrived and they are awesome. My daughter got the new stove for upstairs and is sending the old (ie. newer glass topped, black, self cleaning one) down for that kitchen. The new one is an induction stove. WOW and double WOW! They cooked on it last night and my son in law has a new mistress - the new stove!!! In their downtime, my third daughter and hubby are dividing one of the huge bedrooms upstairs into 2 sleeping rooms for their 2 oldest girls. With more drywall and some mudding it should be ready to paint next week. (That one they are doing themselves with a little help from their friends.)

My son is staying with us in the suite in our basement while we have him on painkillers and anti-inflamatories. He sneezed and collapsed on Saturday and pulled muscles in his back. After a shot of morphine at the hospital Saturday, we have him on meds every 4 hours added to his meds for the ulcerative colitis and schlerosing cholingitis and the calcium and Vitamin D for his osteoporosis. Yes, I do have a spreadsheet to track his meds!

So I don't have time to have a life - LOL! Just standing on the sidelines and watching it go by is about all I can handle right now. Oh yea - I was home sick last week with muscle spasms in my back and Saturday was my first good day. I am now home with my son this week. Go Office Staff! Go!
